I have a process to generate html file dynamically, but i dont want to place those html files under the webapp, because if the project are re-deployed, I have to deal with the existing html files(copy out and copy in).
So I'm just wondering if I can place the html files outside of the webapp.
If not, is there any other proper way to meet the requriement?
I'm using tomcat.
Appropriate your help.
Create below dir if not exist:
${CATALINA_HOME}/conf/Catalina/localhost
Create a xml file "article.xml", place the xml under the above path as follows.
${CATALINA_HOME}/conf/Catalina/localhost/article.xml
Add below content to the xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context path="/article" docBase="C:/apps/blog/article" debug="0"
reloadable="true" privileged="true">
</Context>
Start tomcat.
If there's aa.html under the C:/apps/blog/article, use http://localhost:8080/article/aa.html to access the html.
NOTE:
1. Tomcat will take the xml as an web application, and load the resource configed in the xml.
2. No need to create WEB-INF and META-INF for the external folder(C:/apps/blog/article here).

I have a folder of several hundred XML files that I would like to convert into a folder of HTML files. I've created an XSLT that works in w3schools.com's XSLT tester, but I'm not sure how to apply that stylesheet across hundreds of XML documents. My XML looks like this (and the only nodes I'm interested in are title, author, and lyrics):
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<song xmlns="http://openlyrics.info/namespace/2009/song" version="0.8" createdIn="OpenLP 2.0.1" modifiedIn="OpenLP 2.0.1" modifiedDate="2012-03-14T02:21:52">

A couple questions about this:
1) Might it be better to use XQuery since I'm only interested in extracting a few lines per XML file?
2) Regardless of XSLT/XQuery, how can I implement a solution that converts a folder of XML files (without manually editing each one to call upon the XSL stylesheet)? I'm running OS X 10.8.4.
Thanks in advance.
Just write your own shell script using the xsltproc command. This is what I used successfully for XSLT batch processing.
Or just open a shell, cd to the folder with the XML files and then enter the following two commands:
mkdir results
xsltproc -o results/ path/to/stylesheet.xslt *.xml
I think XQuery would be more convenient if you had all of your XML in a database, but on the filesystem XSLT may be simpler.
I would just use Saxon-PE, and invoke it from a shell script. You could also use Automator.
I understand that I can map HTML files such that the JSP engine treats files with .html extensions the same as they do for .jsp files. However, what I wish to do is more precise than that. I want my JSP engine, Tomcat 5.5, to treat only those HTML files in a specific subdirectory, SecAuth, as JSP files.
I added the following in Tomcat's web.xml file and it did not work (in fact, an error ensued):
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>jsp</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>SecAuth/*.html</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Is it clear what I'm trying to accomplish? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
I just wrote an XSL-T file that converts some WSDL files into HTML documentation. Now I'm wondering whether I could use an processing-instruction like the following directly in the WSDL files:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="./transform.xsl"?>
This works perfectly in any browser I've tested. But I'm curious whether XML processors that actually want to use the WSDL as service description (e.g. SOAP client libraries) would now also convert the document into HTML - which would lead to an unusable WSDL.
Does anyone know whether this is safe or if there's some standard for XML processors that defines how to handle the xml-stylesheet processing instruction?
First a short task description:
There is an XML file which references a xsl stylesheet which is within a *.dll.
The beginning of this XML looks as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='res://name_xsl.dll/frameset.xsl'?>
This xml file can be opened and displayed as an HTML within Internet Explorer and only IE.
(The xsl transform the xml to html)
As you can see it references the win32 system folder, in which the dll file is saved.
Referencing with "res://" does work.
But now I do not want to store my dll within the system folder, but under a different folder lets say %ALLUSERSPROFILE% (environment variable) which e.g. on Windows XP is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users or on Win7 C:\Users\Public (Not sure about that one).
How do I reference to the dll lying in that folder?
Is it possible to do this using environment variables, such that it is system independent?
What solution would you recommend.
(All html, xsl data is saved locally within the dll on the local computer.)
So far I have tried to change the reference line to the following:
<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='file:///c:/Documents and Settings/All Users/name_xsl.dll/frameset.xsl'?>
I have also tried the same with the root folder c: and even without absolute path having all files (xml and dll) in the same folder.
All attempts without res:// resulted in the following error message:
The system cannot locate the resource specified.
Error processing resource 'file:///C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/name_xsl.dll/...
or 'file:///C:/name_xsl.dll/frameset.xsl'
Could you help me out? Why it does not find the file?
(filenames are fictive)
This is the solution:
<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='res://C:%5CDocuments and Settings%5CAll Users%5Cname_xsl.dll/frameset.xsl'?>
Notes:
You MUST use the res:// protocol to access a resource within a file.
File system backslashes can be encoded as %5C . Possibly forward slashes will work as well.
Example:
I tested this example for the file:// protocol, but it should work the same way as the res: protocol. On my system, I have a text file located at:
C:\Program Files\CodeGear\Delphi for PHP\2.0\privacy.txt
I can access this file, by putting into the nav bar of the Windows File Explorer:
file:///%ProgramFiles%/CodeGear/Delphi for PHP/2.0/privacy.txt
Notice backslashes converted to forward slashes, and no need to escape spaces. This has been tested and it works. The equivalent on the res protocol had not been tested, but it should work the same way, except of course that the res protocol is slightly different in that it also includes a resource index number.

I want to read xml data to a mxml application from a xml file on my filesystem. The example I found was for AIR,link2, link3. But I want to target the Flash Player runtime.
If I use the the tag, I can do it; however the xml compiles into my swf. How can I retain the xml file in my release build?
You can use UrlLoader to load the external xml at runtime. You may need to delay the loading of your app components until the xml has been loaded (depending on the details of your application.)
You need to use the mx:HTTPService tag , as referenced in the link you've provided
